What we’re about
This is a group for folks who have just moved to Chicago, or who aren't originally from here. If you've chosen to make Chicago your home, it's a great place to be- there's lots of friendly faces, tons of culture, and so much to do. Join us for chances to meet new people and get to know this new city.
We have a discussion group on facebook, if you would like to join and discuss upcoming event ideas and things like that: https://www.facebook.com/groups/889303217815912/
Anyone can join, so please come on by!
If you've been here a while, or even if you're a native Chicagoan, you are certainly welcome. After all, it's nice to have a bit of a guide in checking out this wonderful, cosmopolitan city.
For those of you who want to know:
Is this a singles group? No, not exclusively. People might meet others to date, certainly, but that's not the point of this group.
Is this a networking group? Again, not exclusively, but if you make some good business connecting or find a job through this group, that's great!
Is this a Chicago-centric group? Yes. It's just easier to focus the group on the city area. Events outside the city are welcome, but be aware that the majority of folks on this group are likely to live within the city itself. Thanks.

- Family Feud Trivia League - We'll put you on a team to play! 5 weeks only $35!The River Kitchen and Bar, Chicago, IL
We all know Family Feud! The best game show ever right!? I came up with an amazing way to play bar trivia like the Family Feud game show that anyone can play and be good at! You don't have to know lots of random facts to enjoy or win this trivia. I've done over 25 seasons of this too!
Check out the video I made showing how much fun it is: https://youtu.be/GcAlp9lR_QE
This league is a super fun way to meet new people, have some mid-week drinks and get your think on! It ALWAYS fills up with 140ish people playing, so the RSVP # will not reflect the actual size.
You can register online by yourself or with friends for only $35! We'll then put you on a coed team of 6 thinkers around your age for the season and email you a bunch of info to know for the season. Or sign up your own team of up to 6 people for just $170!

LEAGUE DETAILS:
First Games: Thursday, January 23rd
Final Games: Thursday, February 20th
Start/End Time: 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: The River Kitchen & Bar (2909 N Sheffield Ave)HOW WE PLAY:
Each night there are 2 rounds of 5 questions. The trivia works in reverse of how traditional Family Feud scoring goes. Teams are given the survey question that people were asked and then you have to turn in only one answer. BUT you get the MOST points for guessing the lowest answer on the list (the one that only a couple people said) and LESS points for guessing the popular answers! So it's a battle between making sure your answer is on the on the list of answers given but as far on the bottom of that list as possible. It's THE BEST kind of trivia ever.We give out really awesome prizes too!! NIGHTLY PRIZES FOR THE TOP 8 TEAMS!!! PLUS INCREDIBLE OVERALL LEAGUE PRIZES!!!
----------------------------
League Fees: Only $35 per person for the entire 5-week season or $170 to register a full team of up to 6 people.
